Exercise
Can Improve The Performance Of The Brain |
|
This spring, neuroscientists at
Columbia University in New York City published a study
in which a group of men and women, ranging in age from 21 to
45, began working out for one hour four times a week. After
12 weeks, the test subjects, predictably, became more fit.
Their VO2 max, the standard measure of how much oxygen a
person takes in while exercising, rose significantly. But something else happened as a result of all those
workouts: blood flowed at a much higher volume to a part of
the brain responsible for neurogenesis. Functional M.R.I.'s
showed that a portion of each person's hippocampus received
almost twice the blood volume as it did before. Scientists
suspect that the blood pumping into that part of the brain
was helping to produce fresh neurons.
And the benefits aren't limited to adults. Other
University of Illinois scientists have studied school-age
children and found that those who have a higher level of
aerobic fitness processed information more efficiently; they
were quicker on a battery of computerized flashcard tests.
The researchers also found that higher levels of aerobic
fitness corresponded to better standardized test scores
among a set of Illinois public school students. The
scientists next plan to study how students' scores change as
their fitness improves.

Shoes / Sneakers |
I have various
types of dance shoes for different
occasions. Some of my shoes
look like regular street shoes,
while other look like ballroom
shoes. The pair that I wear
most frequently are Dance Sneakers
by Sansha. These are perfect
for jeans but look horrible if worn
with shorts or skirts.
